Each full team gets a $50 donation in the name of the club. Can't get 5 Lions? Well, bring in family, friends, non-Lions to fill your team. If you are a lone ranger that is fine too--all are welcome--we will get you aligned with a team. Additional donations will be made in the club's name based on rankings at the end of the race.
